Would the Reserves and Guard be forced to adopt these standards as well? If so, that could open a can of worms when it comes to health and injury claims.
Knowing that part timers have to maintain the fitness standards, adding a longer run and ruck to the requirement increases the likelihood of injury. Currently, when not on drill or duty, the part timers are not covered for injuries. What happens when SSGT Smith pops a knee doing a ruck on his own time to train for the required test?
